This striking antique platter features a vivid East Asian-inspired Chinoiserie layout in the celebrated Imari palette (or "Japan pattern" style). Bold underglaze cobalt blues and rich, warm iron-orange florals contrast beautifully against the cream clay body. What sets this platter apart is its lavish, hand-applied 22-karat liquid gold gilding. A master artisan brushed shimmering gold accents over the central foliage, inner border geometric ring, and the scalloped outer edge before its final firing.
Structural Integrity: Excellent antique condition. Structurally sound with no obvious chips, cracks, or flea bites.
Glaze: Features a stunning, dense, and uniformly distributed network of surface crazing throughout the clear glaze. This beautiful glaze crackle is entirely natural, adding phenomenal antique charm and confirming its true 100+ year age.
Gilding: The hand-painted gold highlights remain beautifully bright, sharp, and highly reflective with only minimal vintage shelf wear.
Size: 27cm in diameter, 3cm high/10.6 inches in diameter, 1.2 inches high
